MikroTik RouterBOARD 711G-5HnD Quick Setup Manual And Warranty Information

RouterBOARD 711G-5HnD
Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information
RB711G-5HnD is a dual chain 5 GHz 802.11a/n wireless device with one Gigabit Ethernet port.

First use


Connect antenna cables to the built in Wi-Fi connectors

Power the device from Ether1 port with a passive PoE injector

Powering

The board accepts power with the following modes:

With PoE to ETHER1 port. It accepts 8-30V DC input (at the board;
higher voltage needed to compensate for power loss on long cables;
at least 18V suggested) from non-standard (passive) Power over
Ethernet injectors (no power over data lines). The board does not
work with IEEE802.3af compliant 48V power injectors.

Booting process

This device doesn't come fitted with a Serial Port connector, so initial connection has to be done via the Ethernet cable, using
the MikroTik Winbox utility. Winbox should be used to connect to the default IP address of 192.168.88.1 with the username
admin and no password.
In case IP connection is not available, Winbox can also be used to connect to the MAC address of the device. More infor-
mation here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/First_time_startup
In case you wish to boot the device from network, for example to use MikroTik Netinstall, hold the S301 button of the device
when starting it until it beeps and the LED light turns off and RB711 will look for Netinstall servers.

Extension Slots and Ports


One Gigabit Ethernet port, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either
straight or cross-over cables for connecting to other network devices. The Ethernet port accepts 8-30V DC powering
from a passive PoE injector.

Built-in 802.11a/n Wi-Fi card with two MMCX/uFL (depends on model) connectors

Buttons and Jumpers


RouterOS reset jumper hole (RESET, marked with a black circle in the diagram above, below S301) – resets RouterOS
software to defaults. Must short circuit the metallic sides of the hole (with a screwdriver, for example) and boot the
device. Hold screwdriver in place until RouterOS configuration is cleared.

S301 – Holding this button during boot time will make RB711 look for Netinstall servers. Release the button after
the LED light goes out.
